I trailed after the old man who had grabbed us by the shoulder. He was leading us down the stairwell and down several decks. My head was still spinning from what we learned. Somehow, Luke and I were fused together. The man insinuated that I was somehow responsible. I could not even begin to understand it. First off, how could I have done this? All I did was try to protect Master. Second, even if I was responsible somehow, I never meant to have this happen.

“Lapis, this isn’t your fault,” Luke reassured me, “Don’t blame yourself.”

“But isn’t it my fault?” I asked, then balked at my own voice. It seemed like my body wasn’t all that I shared with Luke now. I could speak like a human now! The voice I now had was not unlike the voice I used in my telepathy. It felt very odd to hear the voice I always knew in my head being spoken aloud.

I could feel Luke’s surprise at my voice as well. “You can talk now!” Then, he seemed to get an idea, “I wonder if I can speak telepathically now. Say something if you hear me.”

I couldn’t resist the chance for some light-hearted snark. “Something.”

That made Luke laugh. “I guess I asked for it!” He paused then replied, “Hey Lapis. Can you still hear this?”

I nodded in surprise again. Luke seemed to have acquired my telepathy! I wondered what else we now shared along with a body. My thoughts went wild as we followed the old man farther down the staircase.

“Here, come right in here you two.” The man gave us no choice, still dragging us by a shoulder as he opened a door at the bottom of the stairs. I noticed just then that we descended a fair ways into the belly of the ship, perhaps all the way to the bottom-most deck. The air was somewhat colder down here too. Or maybe that was just because I had lost most of my fur—I couldn’t really tell which. How did humans deal with being hairless like this?

“There, privacy at last,” the old man said as he shut the door behind us. “Now, I’m sure you two have plenty of questions for me. But before I say anything about it, you two need to understand-”

“Damn straight we need to understand!” Luke cut in, “What the hell’s going on here?!”

“Don’t be impertinent, boy!” The man scolded, “I’ll explain in due time. But first, you two must be utterly exhausted after all you’ve been through. How are you feeling?”

I felt Luke’s impatience smolder, but he remained calm for now. “Mostly dizzy and sore I guess. I can barely even walk like this...”

So he was having issues controlling this body too. Perhaps we needed to work on that at some point. “This is hard,” I added, “I don’t even know what to do...”

“I can imagine. You two must be lost right now. Please, have a seat. We have a lot to talk about.” The old man pulled a chair out from behind a desk and dragged it to us. He retrieved a blanket from the foot of his cot and handed it to us. I gladly wrapped it around our shoulders. The man sat on the edge of his cot across from us, giving us a scrutinizing look.

“It’s exactly as I thought,” he hummed as he studied us further, “another fusion! I never thought I’d see another like us...”

“Us?” I asked as I returned the look with some suspicion. I was sure I misheard the old man. He was a pale-skinned, balding old man with thin, graying hair, green eyes, and a wiry build. He was wearing a purple bandanna tied around his head and one of those colorfully-patterned shirts, this one green with a Bellossom-print motif. Around his neck, a twine pendant made from a Pokémon claw was hanging to the center of his chest. He completed the ensemble with simple, khaki shorts and brown flip-flops. The man seemed ordinary enough, but if he was to be believed, he was anything but ordinary.

The old man nodded once with a small smile. “You heard me right, Gardevoir. You two are not the only fusion, nor are you the first.” The man tossed his head slightly. “C’mon, help me explain.”

His green eyes turned a glowing blue color. A new, female voice then spoke. “You told me that I should not speak when we are in this form, Akoni.”

The man—Akoni was what the female voice called him—spoke up again. “This time is different. We are among fellows now. They deserve to know as much as we do. They seem so very confused. Help me out, Dalia.”

The female voice sighed. “Very well. Since you insist, then I will elaborate. But first, we should show them what we are like before we overwhelm them with the story. I can already sense them growing suspicious of us.”

What did she mean by sensing our suspicion? Was Dalia a psychic like me? I couldn’t sense it. I was having a very hard time doing anything properly in this mixed-up form of ours.

“Good point. Seeing our true form should put these two more at ease.” Akoni stood up and began unbuttoning his shirt.

“Argh, the hell?!” Luke blurted, covering our face with an arm, “My eyes, old man!”

“What, am I offending your sensibilities, whippersnapper?” Akoni sounded amused, “What a silly boy you are. You will learn nothing by cowering in your arm like that. Besides, I have nothing that you don’t have too. Now straighten up and be a man.”

I was a bit miffed at Akoni’s choice of words, but he had a point. I raised my head to look, amid Luke’s reluctance. I saw that Akoni had removed his clothing and was standing in front of us, bare-naked. That wasn’t what shocked me most. His body had become some kind of combined form, just like me and Luke!

I couldn’t help staring for a moment. Seeing a human blended with a Pokémon was such a strange thing. I could see Akoni was now a lot more fit-looking than when I first saw him. His shape was lean and athletic like a martial artist’s. In addition to becoming a lot more muscular, Akoni had become taller and had the bearing of a warrior. I realized the Pokémon he resembled was a Lucario, but the features he had were a blend of human and Pokémon like we were. His face had become pointed and canine, complete with ears and tufts of white hair-like fur around the top of his head. His skin was a pinkish-blue and had the black mask-like markings of a Pokémon. The coloration continued down his entire body, though he had a sparse patch of yellow fur on his chest, and long blue fur on his thighs. His feet had become digitigrade paws like Lucario’s, but still had the toes of a human. Akoni had a tail now, but it was the same hairless pink-blue color as his face. He also retained Lucario’s chest-spike, and the hand-spikes too. Like us, he also had mixed-gender features, including breasts, and I assumed he had a penis and vagina like we now did. His ample pelvic and thigh fur obscured that detail though.

“W-what the hell is this?” Luke stammered.

“What’s it look like, boy?” Akoni tipped his head at us, “This is what Dalia and I really are.”

The female voice—Dalia I now knew—spoke again from Akoni, “We are neither human nor Pokémon anymore. We are something entirely different. We are a fusion.”

“A... fusion?” I asked, “What do you mean by that?”

“We are two souls sharing one body,” Dalia continued as they sat down on the edge of the bed across from me, “I am Akoni, and he is also I.”

I felt Luke's confusion rise. “Mind speaking English?”

“What part of that's hard to understand?” Akoni asked. When he only got our baffled stares as an answer, he continued, “What Dalia's trying to say is that we're like you—a mix of human and Pokémon.”

Luke became a bit miffed. “I get that much, but how are you like us? Did you get hit by Dalia's attack too or what?”

Dalia spoke up, “We got caught up in an Ultra Wormhole. I tried to save Akoni, but it dragged us both in. When we came to, we were like this.”

“O...kay?” Luke scratched his ear, “What's that Ultra Wormhole thing? Is it that thing that opened up in the sky earlier?”

Akoni smiled and nodded once. “That's correct. An Ultra Wormhole connects our world to another dimension called Ultra Space.”

I felt Luke's emotions change from confusion to understanding. “Then those things that rained from the sky were from Ultra Space or something?”

“You're refreshingly sharp for a kid. I like kids with some brains in their head.” Akoni nodded and continued, “Yes, the creatures we saw are native to another world. They are similar to Pokémon, but are not quite Pokémon. They are Ultra Beasts, beings that live in Ultra Space. The Ultra Beast we saw is called Xurkitree. They are numerous in their home world, equivalent to a common Pokémon like Pikipek or Yungoos.”

“A common being?” I felt Luke getting anxious, “So you mean there's even more of those Xurkitree things in that Ultra Space?!”

“Yes, and they are not the only Ultra Beasts we know of. There's about a dozen or so species. Probably even more that we don't know about.”

“Well shit.” Luke shook his head, and I felt him becoming more upset. “This isn't exactly good news, but what do the Ultra Wormholes have to do with us?”

“Maybe nothing, maybe everything,” Dalia was speaking, “We were fused when we entered an Ultra Wormhole. You were fused by your Pokémon's black hole. It's possible that the reason behind the fusions is related to both events.”

“Fan-fucking-tastic,” Luke's mood shifted to exasperation. He sighed and broke eye-contact, “What the ever-loving hell have I gotten into, Lapis?”

I was at a loss too. “I wish I had an answer...”

“This must be hard to grasp,” Dalia put a sympathetic hand on our shoulder, “You have my condolences.”

“I think I understand, but Luke is getting frustrated.” I answered them.

“I get it fine,” Luke replied, “It's just a little much to take in...”

Tell me about it. What Akoni/Dalia told me was making my head spin. At least we had these two to learn from, so I had to try to absorb as much as possible.

“So what now?” I asked, “Are the Xurkitree gone?”

I felt Luke come to attention. He stood up and balled his fists, “That's right, those fucking things did this to us! I'm so pissed I could scream! They're gonna pay for this!”

“Cool it, kid,” Akoni scolded as he pushed us back into the chair, “Rushing out like a headless Rufflett will only get you killed or worse. You haven't even gotten the hang of your body yet. If you fight like this, you'd only get yourselves killed. Think about who else shares your body, boy. Don't put your partner through hell just because you have a bug in your britches, got it?!”

“Try and have some perspective, Akoni,” Dalia cut Akoni off, “They only just learned what happened to them. It's natural to be frightened, confused, even angry. Remember how scared you were, how scared I was? I do, and these two are no different.”

Akoni folded his arms with a sigh. “You're too soft, but you have a point. I'm sorry for snapping, okay? Now quit lecturing me.”

“Don't apologize to me. Apologize to...” Dalia tipped her head at us, “What are your names anyway? I don't believe we asked...”

“I'm Luke, and the Gardevoir is Lapis,” Luke introduced us.

“As you probably know, I am Dalia. I was once Akoni's Pokémon partner. And this is also Akoni, a Pokémon trainer. Sorry for not introducing us earlier.”

“Don't sweat it. This whole thing is so whack I forgot to introduce us too.” Luke replied.

“Luke, Lapis, an honor to formally greet you. Now Akoni, apologize to Luke and Lapis. They did not deserve that attitude.” Dalia reprimanded.

“Fine, fine, get off my case already.” Akoni took a breath and grumbled, “Sorry. That was probably unfair of me.” Akoni's tone rose slightly, “However, I won't take back my point. Both of you need to understand that your lives are no longer your own. Both of you need to take the other's feelings and opinions into account before acting, get it?”

“Got it.” Luke was getting a bit embarrassed by Akoni's rebuke.

Akoni nodded sharply, “Good. Now on to other matters. I'm sure you noticed you are naked. You two need something to wear.”

Luke looked down at our mixed-up body. “I don't know what to do. Do I dress like a boy, or like a girl?”

Akoni rolled his eyes. “What do you think, Doduo-brain? Ask Lapis, not me!”

“I haven't worn clothes before,” I admitted, “But Master did put a bow in my hair once.”

“This is different, Lapis. Pokémon are supposed to be naked, not humans!”

“What about your previous clothes?” I asked, “I don't mind that.”

Akoni shook his head, “'Fraid that's a no-go, kid. Your old clothes won't fit the new-you.” Akoni was rummaging in a suitcase as he spoke, “I still have clothes from when Dalia and I couldn't change forms yet. It'll have to do 'till we reach Konikoni City.”

“Wait a second! I was supposed to visit Mom and Dad in Hau'oli City! I can't go to Konikoni without seeing them first!” Luke protested.

“Now listen to you, boy. Just how do you think your parents will react to...” Akoni waved a hand at us, “...that!”

“Dad used to be a trainer. He'll understand!” I could tell Luke was saying that to mask his uncertainty.

“And your mother?”

“She'll probably be more worried about whether or not I'm alright. What's it to you? You don't know me from Adam. Why are you up in my business anyway?” I sensed Luke getting annoyed with Akoni again.

Akoni finally stopped rummaging and stood to look us in the eye. “You don't even know what you don't know, boy. I'm only trying to warn you. People act real funny around hybrids like us. They call us monsters, try to catch us, chase us out of towns, and more. Get it? You're in danger as long as you stay like this.”

“Then teach us how to change like you do!” Luke stood up, “I'm a fast learner, teach me!”

Akoni folded his arms. “It's not something I can teach, boy. You and your Pokémon have to be in perfect sync to change back to either form. 'Till then, you're stuck like this, get it?”

“Oh fuck me,” Luke slumped back to the chair. “You mean I can't turn back into a human?”

“You get it now, kid? You're stuck. And unless you plan on getting your sorry hide caught by some kid, you're gonna have to listen up and listen up good. We have to begin your training as soon as possible. The sooner you get yourself looking more normal, the better. We'll detour to visit your folks, but you need to stick with me from then on, get it?”

“Okay, okay, fine!” Luke was getting irritated again. He sighed and shook his head. “Look, I just wanna get back to normal. I'm a freak-show like this!”

Dalia spoke up, “It's understandable to be frustrated, Luke. But think about how Lapis must feel. She has to adapt to this too.”

I felt Luke's frustration get replaced with surprise. “You're right. I've been so wrapped up in my feelings that I haven't even let her talk. Lapis? What do you think?”

Good question. I was still trying to sort out my feelings on this. “I don't know what to think, Master. I can manage so long as I have you with me.”

Dalia got a hint of a smile on hearing me call Luke Master again. “Your Pokémon trusts you more than you know, Luke. I haven't seen such a devoted aura in a long time. Your Pokémon needs you to be strong for her. Think you can do it?”

I couldn't help blushing. Dalia was really on point about me and Luke. I didn't usually talk about my feelings with anyone but Luke, so having Dalia point it out was a bit embarrassing. I felt Luke's resolve when he nodded his reply.

“Huh. Well ain't that a Pecha. You and Dalia are hitting it off well. Here, kid.” Akoni put a set of clothes in our lap. “We'll be making landfall in Melemele in about twenty minutes, so get decent.”

“You too, gramps.” Luke shot back with a witty smirk.

“Gramps? Well, I did call you kid. I guess I earned that one. Suit up you two. It's not exactly the latest fashion, but it'll preserve your modesty.”

“I can't believe this...” I heard Master's voice in my mind as we put the clothes on, “We're stuck together? Permanently?”

“If what these guys said is true, yes,” I replied, “I'm sorry Luke.”

I felt Master become a bit confused. “Why are you sorry? You saved my life.”

I hung my head sadly. “I made that black hole. I did this to us. This is my fault...”

“Lapis...” My mood fell further when I sensed Master becoming sad. He suddenly perked up and replied, “You know what? It doesn't matter if it was your fault or not. What matters is what the hell do we do now?”

I thought for a moment. “Akoni and Dalia are more experienced than us. We should trust their guidance.”

“But that's just it. Dalia seems like an alright girl, but something about that Akoni guy makes me kinda suspicious.”

Good point again. Why were they so interested in us anyway? Was it really just because we were fellow fusions? When we finished dressing, we were wearing an over-sized pair of khaki shorts and one of those button-down shirts. This one was orange with a Cherrim-print motif.

“Good. Very good.” We looked up to find that Akoni was human again and had gotten dressed. “Now listen up you two. You saw how everyone reacted to you right? I want you to stay in your room until we make landfall. No need to stir up the whole ship again.”

We nodded our agreement, and Luke spoke, “Fine. But what now?”

“You said you have family to visit, right? We'll get that over with so we can start your training.”

“We? You're coming with me?” Luke asked.

Akoni nodded once. “Of course I am, kid. Just think of me as your backup plan if something happens.”

“Nothing's gonna happen, gramps. It's my parents.” Luke was getting annoyed again. “It's none of your business what I do!”

Akoni folded his arms and gave us a stern look. “You better be right, kid. You better be right. Now get back to your room already. Don't go above deck, hear?”

We crossed the room to the door as Luke said, “Whatever. Just leave me be for a while. I gotta think about this...”
